Hearts Were Made For Beating
Jerry Lee Lewis · Mercury Smashes...And Rockin' Sessions [2000]
Well he never meant for them to turn out bad
Inside he placed a heart for beating and oh what a beating mine's had
Scattered pieces of my heart lay all around me each
one filled with love it almost had
How much longer can heart let go on beating cause Lord
what a beating mine's had
Well a heart born to lose can never win
But each beat of my heart gives me strenght to try again
How much longer can heart let go on beating cause Lord
what a beating mine's had
[ piano ]
Well a heart born to lose...
Oh I say Lord what a beating mine's had
